Adjusting the Sound

To fully enjoy the sound coming from your stereo system, make the following audio adjustments. See sections following this one for additional sound adjustments.

To adjust the volume

Rotate VOLUME on the unit or press VOL (+/-) on the remote.

To reinforce bass

Press DBFB* repeatedly and choose DBFB or DBFB.

"DBFB ▲|||| " is more effective than "DBFB ▲||".

* DBFB = Dynamic Bass Feedback

To listen through the headphones

Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack. No sound will come from the speakers.

Selecting the Audio Emphasis

Your stereo system has been factory set to five specially recommended audio emphases. Choose from among these five preset settings according to the type of music you are listening to.

1 If the indicator of P.FILE is lit, press P.FILE so that the indicator turns off.
2 Press the desired preset equalizer setting button on the unit or PRESET EQ on the remote repeatedly until the indicator of the desired setting button lights up. The equalizer setting affects the recording sound level on a tape.

Press	To get
ROCK	Powerful, clear sounds, emphasizing low and high audio
POPS	Light, bright sounds, emphasizing high and middle range audio
JAZZ	Percussive sounds, emphasizing bass audio
CLASSIC	Broad, open sounds with plenty of reverberations
DANCE	Sounds similar to a disco by intensifying bass sound

To cancel the audio emphasis

Press the selected button again (or press PRESET EQ on the remote repeatedly) so that the indicator of the button lights off. Then, "EFFECT OFF" appears in the display.

The audio emphasis except DBFB enhances the recording sound

Therefore, we recommend you to cancel the audio emphasis when recording. If the audio emphasis is on and the sound level of the CD you want to record is very high, the recording sound may become distorted. Otherwise, if you want to record the enhanced sound for special uses such as your car stereo, walkman, etc., turn the audio emphasis on. Also, we recommend you to cancel it when you play a tape recorded with audio emphasis, because the sound may be affected doubly and become distorted if it is left on.

To change the equalizer display

Each time you keep pressing DISPLAY for a few seconds, the equalizer display changes to show one of the four displays below.

If the sound does not come in for about a minute, the spectrum analyzer display turns to a picture. The display is restored when the sound comes in.

frequency range appears in the display, and the level value flashes.

3 Press ▶ or ◀ to select the frequency range you want to change.

4 Press ▲ or ▼ to raise or lower the level of the frequency range.

5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to adjust other frequency ranges.

To create the atmosphere of a movie theater or concert hall

Press SURROUND so that the SUR(||||||||) indicator lights up.

1 Press the desired equalizer setting button.
2 Press SURROUND to activate or deactivate the surround effect to suit your taste.
3 Adjust the sound using CURSOR CONTROL. (See "Adjusting the Audio Emphasis" for details.)

5 Press a file number button that you decide on. "MEMORY" disappears. The adjusted equalizer curve and the surround effect settings are stored at the file number you selected.

To call up the personal file

Press P.FILE so that the indicator of P.FILE lights up and then, press the desired file number button, or press P.FILE on the remote repeatedly.

To hear the effect of the adjustment

Press the selected button repeatedly. You can compare the difference between the adjusted sound (the indicator is lit) and the sound with no equalizer-effect (the indicator is not lit).

Precautions

If you have any questions or problems concerning your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On operating voltage

Before operating the stereo system, check that the operating voltage of your stereo system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

Operating Voltage

120 V AC, 60 Hz

On safety

• The stereo system is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the system itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the component, unplug the stereo system and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Should the AC power cord (mains lead) need to be changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.
• As the laser beam used in this unit is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personal only.
• Do not open the disc tray during CD operations. This activates the safety device, stops operations, and starts initializing operations.

On installation

Place the stereo system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo system.

On condensation in the CD player component

If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player. Should this occur, the CD player will not operate. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as illustrated. If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

When you are using a type II (CrO2) cassette, be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow the tape player to automatically detect the type of tape.

Troubleshooting Guide

If you run into any problem using this stereo system, use the following check list. And first check the following points:

• The mains lead is connected firmly.
- The speakers are connected correctly and firmly.

Should any problem persist after you have made the checks below, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

The remote does not function.

→ The batteries have run down. Replace both batteries.
→ There is an obstacle between the remote and the system. Remove the obstacle.

Maintenance

To clean the tape heads and tape path

Contaminated tape heads cause poor recording or sound drop-out in playback. We recommend cleaning after every 10 hours of operation.

Open the cassette holder and wipe the heads, the pinch rollers and the capstans with a cleaning swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol. Wipe the parts shown below:

Deck A

Deck B

Insert a tape when the areas cleaned are completely dry.

To demagnetize the tape heads

After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism will have built up on the heads to begin to cause loss of high frequencies and hiss. At this time, demagnetize the heads and all metal parts in the tape path with a commercially available tape head demagnetizer. Refer to the instructions of

the demagnetizer.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.

To clean the CD

When a CD is dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the centre out.

Notes on CD

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause a tracking error.
